To create a discrete analogue of magnetic fields on Riemannian manifolds is a challenging problem. The notion of Kähler graphs introduced by the second author is one of trials of this discretization. In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of the weighted number of prime cycles with respect to their lengths by use of a zeta function.

We study the rigid analytic geometry of cyclic coverings of the projective line. We determine the defining equation of cyclic coverings of degree $p$ of the projective line by Mumford curves over complete discrete valuation fields of positive characteristic $p$. Previously, Bradley studied that of any degree over non-archimedean local fields of characteristic zero.

A tropical version of Nevanlinna theory describes value distribution of continuous piecewise linear functions of a real variable. In this paper, we present some results on value distribution theory of tropical difference polynomials and uniqueness theory of tropical entire functions. Application to some ultra-discrete equations is also given.

In this paper, a non-integrated defect relation for meromorphic maps from complete Kähler manifolds $M$ into smooth projective algebraic varieties $V$ intersecting hypersurfaces located in $k$-subgeneral position (see (1.5) below) is proved. The novelty of this result lies in that both the upper bound and the truncation level of our defect relation depend only on $k$, $\dim_{\,\mathbf{C}}(V)$ and the degrees of the hypersurfaces considered; besides, this defect relation recovers Hirotaka Fujimoto [6, Theorem 1.1] when subjected to the same conditions.

We compute the Hessian of quantized Ding functionals and give an elementary proof for the convexity of quantized Ding functionals along Bergman geodesics from the view point of projective geometry. We study also the asymptotic behavior of the Hessian using the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization.

In this paper, we study curvature properties of all homogeneous real hypersurfaces in nonflat complex space forms, and determine their minimalities and the signs of their sectional curvatures completely. These properties reflect the sign of the constant holomorphic sectional curvature $c$ of the ambient space. Among others, for the case of $c$ < 0 there exist homogeneous real hypersurfaces with positive sectional curvature and also ones with negative sectional curvature, whereas for the case of $c$ > 0 there do not exist any homogeneous real hypersurfaces with nonpositive sectional curvature.

Let $V$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex number field with genus $g \geq 2$, and let $\sigma$ be an automorphism on $V$ such that the quotient curve $V/\langle \sigma \rangle$ has genus 0. We write $d$ (resp., $b$) for the order of $\sigma$ (resp., the number of fixed points of $\sigma$). When $d$ and $b$ are fixed, the lower bound of the (Weierstrass) weights of fixed points of $\sigma$ was obtained by Perez del Pozo [7]. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for when the lower bound is attained.

In this work, we propose a new evolving geometric flow (called translating mean curvature flow) for the translating solitons of hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$. We study the basic properties, such as positivity preserving property, of the translating mean curvature flow. The Dirichlet problem for the graphical translating mean curvature flow is studied and the global existence of the flow and the convergence property are also considered.

We prove a continuity property in the sense of currents of a continuous family of holomorphic functions which allows us to obtain a Łojasiewicz inequality with an effective exponent independent of the parameter.

This paper demonstrates an approach for developing a framework to produce invariants of base-point-free generic spherical curves under some chosen local moves from Reidemeister moves using based chord diagrams. Our invariants not only contain Arnold's classical generic spherical curve invariant but also new invariants.

In order to establish the Foxby equivalences associated to strongly Gorenstein modules, we introduce the notions of strongly $\mathcal{W}_P$-Gorenstein, $\mathcal{W}_I$-Gorenstein and $\mathcal{W}_F$-Gorenstein modules and discuss some basic properties of these modules. We show that the subcategory of strongly Gorenstein projective left $R$-modules in the left Auslander class and the subcategory of strongly $\mathcal{W}_P$-Gorenstein left $S$-modules are equivalent under Foxby equivalence. The injective and flat case are also studied.

Let $p$ be an odd prime such that $b^r+1=2p^t$, where $r$, $t$ are positive integers and $b \equiv$ 3,5 (mod 8). We show that the Diophantine equation $x^2+b^m=p^n$ has only the positive integer solution $(x,m,n)=(p^t-1,r,2t)$. We also prove that if $b$ is a prime and $r=t=2$, then the above equation has only one solution for the case $b \equiv$ 3,5,7 (mod 8) and the case $d$ is not an odd integer greater than 1 if $b \equiv$ 1 (mod 8), where $d$ is the order of prime divisor of ideal ($p$) in the ideal class group of $\mathbf{Q}$ ($\sqrt {-q}$).

We describe the effect of Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates under elementary move for hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundaries, punctures and cone points, which generalize Okai's result for surfaces with geodesic boundaries. The proof relies on the parametrization of the Teichmüller space of surface of type (1,1) or (0,4) as a sub-locus of an algebraic equation in $\mathbf{R}^3$. As an application, we show that the hyperbolic length functions of closed curves are asymptotically piecewise linear functions with respect to the Fenchel Nielsen coordinates in the Teichmüller spaces of surfaces with cone points.

We prove a prime geodesic theorem for compact quotients of affine buildings and apply it to get class number asymptotics for global fields of positive characteristic.

We give a sufficient criterion for specializations of certain families of polynomials to yield monogenic number fields. This generalizes constructions in several earlier papers. As applications we give new infinite families of monogenic number fields for several prescribed Galois groups.
